Unforking OLPC packages
The goal of this session is to identify packages in the OLPC-4 collection that are forked from Fedora, figure out why they are forked, and identify the work that needs to be done to unfork them.
Package listing
As of Koji, January 9th:
GConf2-dbus-2.16.0-14.fc10
Rainbow is broken with the version of GConf in F10 because of the way Rainbow preforks activities. Since preforking is now turned off, we can try to use the GConf that's shipped in F10 and see what happens.
SDL_mixer-1.2.8-9.olpc4.1
Needs investigation.
abiword-2.6.5-3.olpc4
fedora-release-10-1.2
hippo-canvas-0.3.0-5.20081014svn.olpc4
So it appears that maybe the online desktop stuff is using a different (older?) version. We should figure out if anyone inside of RH/Fedora actually cares about maintaining this stuff, and if not, hand it over to OLPC/Sugar folks for maintenance. Otherwise, we need to ask the owner to merge changes in.
